Answer:

The answer is E.

Explanation:

In a public company, the directors are the agents of the company while the shareholders are the principals(owners) of the company. Because most times, shareholders doesn't have the needed skills and experience to run businesses, they employ director/management (agent) to run their businesses. Most times there is conflict of interest, for example, the managers might prefer a risky business while the shareholders might prefer less risky, this type of scenario creates agency problem.

Agency problem (principal-agent problem) is a conflict of interest that happens when the directors (agent) don't fully represent the best interest of the shareholders (principal)

So all the options in the question represents agency problem.
